The New Holland Machine Company was founded in 1895, when a young man by the name of Abram Zimmerman purchased a horse barn in New Holland, Pennsylvania and established a blacksmiths shop. Zimmerman was the third of seven children born to the Martin W. and Anna (Martin) Zimmerman. The Zimmerman's were a very conservative Mennonite family. Abram Zimmerman was a mechanical 'genius' who brought his talents to bear in the new blacksmith business as he began repairing and making farm machinery for the local farmers.
